Valentine's Day

The other night in bed, Daniel rolled over and asked me, "Am I supposed to be planning something or V-day?"  It's our first Valentine's day as a married couple and I guess he just wanted to know my expectations haha. but we got to talking and decided to plan something together: a small "Cheese & Wine" party--minus the wine and plus a variety of flavored Martinelli drinks.  The idea sponned from a miniture cheese and wine picnic set that my dad gave to Daniel after one of his manager's meetings.  Daniel loved it and ever since then the idea has always been in the back of our minds. Hopefully everything works out. I have no idea what I'll use for decorations, but I have been working on a play list:

Kiss --Prince
Unchained Melodies -- Righteous Brothers
Put Your Head On My Shoulder -- Paul Anka
When A Man Loves A Woman -- Percy Sledge
Let's Get It On -- Barry White
Against All Odds -- Phil Collins
Right Round -- Flo Rida
The Glory of Love -- Peter Cetera
Have You Ever Needed Someone So Bad -- Def Leppard
Pour Some Sugar On Me -- Def Leppard
Crazy Little Thing Called Love -- Queen
What I Like About You -- The Romantics
Kokomo -- The Beach Boys
Sweet Caroline -- Neil Diamond
I Second That Emotion -- Smokey Robinson & the Miracles
You Sexy Thing -- Hot Chocolate
Wonderful Tonight -- Eric Clapton
How Sweet It Is --Kris Allen
Sexual Healing -- Marvin Gaye
At Last -- Ella Fitzgerald

I'm still adding.  I wanted a mixture of up-beat / fun songs (Kiss... Right Round...Pour Some Sugar On Me), legit love songs (Unchained Melodies, At Last, Put Your Head On My Shoulder), and then all those ridiculous songs that everybody loves (The Glory of Love, Sexual Healing, Let's Get It On).  My favorite is Kiss, by Prince.  I could listen to that song over and over again.

PS. It's going to be a small gathering.  ie. the only people I've invited are my brother and sister and their spouses. Hence the reason I don't want it to be uberly romantic. That would be weird.

  1. That sounds perfect! Yet another reason that I'm sad we don't live around anymore.

    But! Ryan mentioned that in 2 years when he'll be applying for internships there are a TON in Utah...so, hopefully we move back there!
